    The young guys are here in Chicago.

    They're here! Since the Minnesota Wild are facing the lowly Chicago Blackhawks and are pretty locked in the standings, they kept Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, Jonas Brodin, and Jared Spurgeon in Minnesota for the one-game road trip to Illinois. But! This means that recently recalled Marco Rossi and Nic Petan get to make their impressions against a bad team and hometown Brock Faber gets to make his NHL debut.

    It isn't the most interesting game when it comes to the context of the season, but we will be keeping an eye on all the young guys and debutant.

    Projected Wild lineup

    Marcus Johansson -- Frederick Gaudreau -- Matt Boldy
    Nic Petan -- Marco Rossi -- Ryan Hartman
    Gustav Nyquist -- Sam Steel -- Marcus Foligno
    Brandon Duhaime -- Connor Dewar -- Ryan Reaves

    Jake Middleton -- Calen Addison
    Alex Goligoski -- Brock Faber
    Jon Merrill -- John Klingberg

    Filip Gustavsson
    Marc-Andre Fleury

    Projected Blackhawks lineup

    Tyler Johnson -- Jonathan Toews -- Jason Dickinson
    Anders Bjork -- Andreas Athanasiou -- Buddy Robinson
    Boris Katchouk -- Jujhar Khaira -- Joey Anderson
    Austin Wagner -- MacKenzie Entwistle -- Reese Johnson

    Caleb Jones -- Seth Jones
    Wyatt Kaiser -- Connor Murphy
    Andreas Englund -- Nikita Zaitsev

    So is Tank...but he figured it out. 

    Tank is small but I think he is a lot stronger and knows how to use his body to get the right pressure. Addy just doesn't

    I’d make the case that Dewar deserves a promotion up the lineup more than anyone.  He’s getting very little help from line mates but creates grade A opportunities every game

    Amazing how much it hurt to lose Shawzy

    Addy has had multiple chances to be physical but fails to do so. Seems to still be playing scared.

    Probably a bit of that, but no reason Addy can't aspire to do the same. Hockey is about leverage. It's been talked about ad nauseum, but he could learn a thing or two from him.

    But he doesn't seem to want to do that. Gotta believe he will be a throw-in on a trade this year. I think Billy is just done with him.

    Doesn't have much value anymore. Some of that is his doing, some of that management IMO. Oh well, hopefully Ohgren was the big win in the Zucker trade given what he's been showing.

    I'm afraid that you are correct. This is probably as good as a chance to show he belongs but I haven't seen anything positive out of him yet.

    So far, Rossi is looking better this time around.

    I guess I missed that in the first.  And he just watched chi bury goal #2 in 2nd.  I’m rooting for him but he needs to show SOMETHING
